1 week ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

While theaters are getting an original cinematic treat this week, there are a variety of other films out there as well.

‘Sinners’ Review: Coogler's Dance of the Damned

2 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Zachary Marsh |Aaron Neuwirth

When asked to name the directors whose latest films I want to see instantly, it’s a prompt that doesn’t elicit much reaction from me, as I am happy to see so many different filmmakers’ work. Now, when considering true event filmmakers, the directors who are just as likely as the stars to bring in the audiences, there really only are a handful. Right now, coming alongside the Nolans and Tarantinos, I think there’s a good argument to make for Ryan Coogler.
'Drop' Review: One Deadly Date Night

2 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Michael Lee

Christopher Landon‘s Drop is one of those films that knows what it is and wants the audience to have fun. While the modern-day technological thriller uses Hitchockian style to deliver twists and turns, it’s a surprisingly sharp tale about survivors of domestic abuse trying to find a sense of normalcy after dealing with traumatizing events. Drop centers on Violet (Meghann Fahy), a widowed mother of one, who helps victims of abuse regain control of their lives.
‘Warfare’ Review: The Craft of War

2 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

Well, that was certainly intense. Not so much an experimental effort as a stripped-down one, Warfare is the result of a filmmaker aiming for something raw and honest. Prominently billed as being “based on memories,” this film is doing all it can to keep the theatrics out of the intensity of battle and display what it is to be experiencing heavy action within insurgent territory.
‘Drop’ Review: First Date Saboteur

2 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

I enjoy a high-concept thriller that so cheerfully understands how ridiculous it is. Drop is the sort of film that is fully happy to pull the audience’s leg to ensure they know they’re supposed to be having fun. Sure, there are some genuine moments of suspense to keep the visceral nature of the story active, but a good amount of laughs come through as well, thanks to the heightened circumstances presented.
‘The Amateur’ Review: The Born Novice

2 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

I appreciate the earnestness of trying something like The Amateur now. We’re in an age where major studios are working hard to deliver the ideal IP to audiences, and here’s a second attempt to adapt a 1980s spy novel. On top of that, it stars an Oscar-winning actor who is 13 years older than Matt Damon when he made The Bourne Identity. Does this seem like the recipe for monetary success? Who’s to say, but as far as the film goes – I had a good enough time.
Concert Review: Another Memorable Celebration of the World's Favorite Film Composer!

2 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Kevin Taft

In what has been a year-long tribute to one of the greatest film composers of all time – if not THE greatest film composer of all time – the Los Angeles Philharmonic celebrated the work of a master of cinema – John Williams. Curated for the LA Philharmonic’s season at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, LA’s favorite conductor, Gustavo Dudamel, led the orchestra in 15 selections from Williams’ oeuvre. The night began with William’s “Olympic Fanfare,” composed for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
‘A Minecraft Movie’ Review: Nether Again

3 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

While I still consider myself a gamer, Minecraft came at a time beyond me. I’d argue it has mostly made sense for me to be familiar with the many video movies that have come out over the years, as part of the appeal is building generational interest. Now I’m at a point where that also applies to A Minecraft Movie, which takes away my ability to connect with how faithful the movie version is to the source material.
In-House Reviews #144: Hell of a Summer, Woman in the Yard, Gunman, Penguin Lessons & More!

3 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Aaron Neuwirth

Another big video game movie is about to take the world by storm, regardless of quality, but other films are out there. This set of write-ups includes a horror comedy, a psychological horror film, a one-shot thriller, a romantic comedy, a historical comedy-drama, and a musical dystopian sci-fi flick. The following features reviews for Hell of a Summer, The Woman in the Yard, Gunman, A Nice Indian Boy, The Penguin Lessons, and O’Dessa.
Overcomes Weaknesses With a Lot of Charm

3 weeks ago | weliveentertainment.com | Kevin Taft

A cute but slight call back to the gay rom-coms ‘90s, A Nice Indian Boy is a sort of queer My Big Fat Greek Wedding for a new generation. Based on the play by Madhuri Shekar, the film stars Karan Soni (Deadpool) as Dr. Naveen Gavaskar, a gay Indian guy living in Hampshire, in the UK. The film opens at his sister Arundhathi’s (Sunita Mani) wedding to a stud named Neel (Sean Amsing).
